All this can only be done if your SCSI adaptor is willing to register more than a second drive to the BIOS. Older adaptors went the C:/D: only approach (or, in BIOS numbering, 0x81 and 0x82). Sorry, for the boot-manager related questions, this is most likely the wrong list. Try questions@freebsd.org. I assume most people listening here don't really know what a boot-manager is. :-) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
